Last night at the milonga, it felt that whenever I sat down for a bit, I could look up and find an attractive woman looking at me. I would nod as if I were @Breadmaker acknowledging a barista at Starbucks, and they would come over and we’d dance for a couple of songs.
My gf and I got some tiramisu from the good Italian deli that we were enjoying with some sbux coffee. The manager walked behind us and said, “Looks good!!”
@Bro : I can’t remember if it was the same day, but some girl from the nearby gym ordered and said her name was Yumi: she spelled it and everything!!! You shoulda been heeeeeeeere!!!
Was at a party last night and had 2! straight men, one married, one creepy, ask me for my number. I gave it to the married dude, but not the creepy dude.
Married dude even asked me for my number in front of his wife! Suggested that since we live in the same town these days, we should catch up, and told me that his number was the same as it was 20 years ago. I do not have a 20 year old phone, so that was not particularly useful information.
Creepy dude saw me playing with a stick model he had built for the hostess at some point, offered to share the blueprints with me in case I got the hankering to connect pieces of wood.
We were walking around in an area where there are a lot of bars and restaurants, but it was in the late morning so most weren’t open yet. We heard someone say “hey guys” from behind us in an area where everything was still closed, and when we turned around it was this bartender.
We went to his former bar 3 times, and he was always our bartender. He just moved to this new bar that’s a few miles away from his old spot.
Not only did he recognize us and call us out, he told us we need to come see him at his new spot.
was at the grocery store, needed to buy cilantro. The sign with “Cilantro” on it had broccoli underneath. A few feet away were bunches that looked like cilantro, so I picked one up. Sniffed it. Was pretty confident, until a late-50s woman said, “That’s large-leaf parsley.” What? We discussed for a minute. Then another woman, probably early-30s joined, and she saw that the wrapper band said CILANTRO, so we were all good. The three of us had a little chuckle about the half of the population for whom cilantro tastes like soap (50s woman) and those who love it (30s woman), and I think I fell in love with the 30s woman because of how cute she was.
I saw her a couple of other times throughout the store. And fantasized how I could get her number and ask her on a date. Then when I was at the self-checkout, she came up to the one right next to me, so when I finished, just about exactly at the time she did, I followed her to the exit. Got her attention just outside the door. Said, “Hey, thanks again. I’m SJ. You are incredibly cute and I think we might have some values in common. Can I get your number, take you out on a date some time?”
She smiled, flattered, and held up a hand that had an incredibly thin band. “I am very married,” she said, “but thank you for asking. You made my day!”
The cashier at the grocery store smiled at MEEEEEEE while I was putting stuff on the belt. She also put the “Another cashier will be glad to help you” sign out, so obviously she wanted me all to herself!!
